How To Use 3D Touch

35 Things You Can Only Do On The iPhone 6s

3D Touch is one of the most transformative new features in the iPhone 6s. Instead of just swiping and tapping on your phone's screen, 3D Touch uses force so you can navigate your handset in entirely new ways — thanks to a special pressure-sensitive display. But where in iOS can you use it, and what can you do with 3D Touch once you've pressed your iPhone screen?

3D Touch was originally limited to mostly just Apple-built apps. But now, many developers have updated their apps to take advantage of the shortcuts that 3D Touch provides. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram have all (finally!) updated their apps with this pressure-sensing integration. Some games have also added 3D Touch, so you have a new way of playing. But, since many of us let our apps update automatically these days, it can be hard to know when one of our favorites has incorporated these new features.
